LA REMONTADA DEL SIGLO /INGLESES TRATAN DE EXPLICAR EL PARTIDO DE ARGENTINA EGIPTO Y TIEMBLAN

Argentina came back from 0-2 down against Egypt in the Round of 16 of the 2016 World Cup and qualified for the quarterfinals. But a statistical analysis of nearly 50,000 international matches revealed just how improbable that feat was: only 0.16% of teams in that same situation manage to come back, and it had never happened before in World Cup history. We review the numbers, with source and date, and explain why reducing this comeback to a refereeing controversy ignores the true magnitude of what Scaloni's team accomplished.
